The man responsible for bringing the vast majority of Dreamcast games back online with DreamPi, Shuouma has announced, he will soon release versions of Quake and Doom compatible with dial up online play via DreamPi.
While fan-made Dreamcast ports of both Quake and Doom have been around for years now, and Dreamcast Online has helped support Doom online play via the broadband adapter, this will be the first time our community is able play Doom via DreamPi, and Quake online in any form.
The announcement was made on the Dreamcast Live forum this week, where he told fans he had been successful in implementing online features to both games. Unsurprisingly, the PC player found online during testing was rather shocked to discover his adversary was using a Sega Dreamcast.
